Ingredients
  

  • 1 shot espresso or 1 Tablespoon instant coffee
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 1 Tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup organic sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 Tablespoon bourbon
  • 1/4 overripe banana mashed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease baking pan (I prefer a 6-inch springform pan for this) and line with parchment paper.
  • Add vinegar to plant milk and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients, except for cocoa powder.
  • In a small pot, over medium-low heat, add espresso, oil, banana, cocoa powder, vanilla, bourbon, and plant milk+vinegar. Stir until cocoa powder is dissolved.
  • Add chocolate mixture to dry ingredients and stir with whisk until all flour is incorporated.
  • Pour batter into baking pan and place in oven until toothpick comes out clean (~28-30 mins).
  • In a bind for time? Pour into muffin pan and make mini cakes! Cuts baking time by 10 minutes!
  • Frost with a little vegan whipped cream mixed with melted chocolate (after it’s cooled) and top with berries!
